What to do in NYC this week

With our resident sommelier, you will have an opportunity to taste and contrast six different wines, which will be on a rotational basis by seasonality. In the process, we aim to help you learn such wine basics as varietal, tasting techniques, region/history, everyday-practical wine appreciation tips etc. In addition, it is our goal that through our discussions, it would help calibrate your palate as you embark on this lifelong adventure called wine. Prepare to leave this class one step closer to being a sommelier or simply impressing friends with your newfound knowledge at the next dinner party. No experience is necessary as this is a fun and instructive event open to anyone who is interested in expanding their knowledge of wine.

Drinking wine is therapeutic, making art is therapeutic -- why not combine them for an extra relaxing Friday night?
During this Sip & Spin class, you'll learn the basic techniques of the potter's wheel. Throw your own cup, bowl, saucer, or whatever your heart desires!
Who knows? Maybe the alcohol in your system will inspire your creativity to spin a ceramic masterpiece!
Once your piece gets glazed and fired up, you'll be able to bring it home to display proudly for your friends and family.

Twice a year, a sunset beautifully illuminates the Manhattan streets with the sun setting perfectly down each streetway. You shouldn't be forced to experience Manhattanhenge's beauty only twice per year. With the Champagne Sunset Cruise, you have a chance to experience this beautiful sunset whenever you want. You'll traverse the island's waterways, visiting bridges, Governor's Island, Ellis Island, and parts of Queens and Brooklyn. All the while, sip on a tasty drink and relax on the boat deck. How much better can life get?

Spain vs. Portugal. While to some, it may sound more like a soccer match than a wine class, both regions offer some of the world's most complex and delicious wines. Spain produces such a variety of wines that it rivals France, while Portugal crafts "old world," full-bodied wines, contrasting the Spanish variety. As this class takes you on a wine adventure through both regions, you'll taste and discuss the delicious wines from both regions, try distinct food pairings, and learn traditions and general consumption rules. Yes, like the soccer match, there are rules. In this match, there are goals coming from both sides.

Creativity takes courage -- maybe even a little liquid courage. It's high time you let your artistic freak flag fly with a night of wine-sipping, paint-dripping fun.
In this workshop, you can learn a few techniques, take a sip, and jump right in.
Because wine not?

Is there anything better than sipping wine and touring Manhattan on the water? On the deck of a 1920's style vessel, you will sail around NYC and witness the city skyline like you've never seen it before, while tasting wines from a specific region of the world. You'll learn the basics of wine tasting, analyzing grapes, viticulture, and trends, in a fun informative environment. To complement your wine and sailing experience further, various artisan and farmstead cheeses will be provided, in addition to a selection of dried fruit, nuts and breads.
Don't miss your opportunity to soiree on the water and sip some wine in a way that would make Gatsby jealous.

I have taken two tours with Vimbly and am looking forward to many more in the future! They have a wide variety of opportunities, many of which I would never have thought of doing. Both tours that I attended were well organized, interesting, and fun. I look to Vimbly for ideas and activities when I want to find something fun to do.

Used Vimbly 3 times now: booked a Knife Skills class at Institute of Culinary Education, booked tickets to Improvised Shakespeare (HOW DID THEY EVEN GET ACCESS TO THESE???), and booked tickets to an Improv show at the Upright Citizen's Brigade. Really simple and efficient way to find something to do and book it right away without ever having to pick up a phone. I like that you can search by date and also category.

As far as a rating, I'd absolutely give your site a 10. It's easy to use, easy to find whats upcoming, unambiguous and concise. It's something my mother could use without calling me seven times with questions. I've already pointed some friends to the site, and you can be sure I'll be using it in the future.

I already have recommended it to a friend! Several in fact. The site is such a good idea and I love how the people at Church Street knew we were coming and treated us like their own customers and not coupon redeemers. My girlfriend and I will definitely be going back there and are already looking on your site for what to do next weekend.

Evan W.

Easily one of the best dates I've been on, and I have Vimbly to thank for the idea. Planning to use it again while I'm in the city for the next month, and already reminded my coworkers about it.
